"...insulting to core values that make our country great: tolerance and pluralism."

Tolerance is bullsh**. I'm intolerant of communism, period, end of sentence.

Race to destruction maybe.

I hope so. Being estranged from elite opinion is like being 'estranged' from the lunatics in the asylum.

Hopefully. I don't think Sarah is all that interested in being aligned with the "elites."

The national struggle is between the Elitists (who are not necessarily very elite) and the real people who make the country function.

Palin is a real person. The Elitists hate her for that.

Everything is “race” to these morons.

How come my Christianity isn’t a “race”?

Why don’t I get the protections and advantages the bloody MoHamHead savages get?

Is it that my Christianity is the “wrong” “race”?

What’s that say about these purveyors of race war?

There will be a day of reckoning for these people, and it won’t be pretty.

Tom Korologos, former ambassador, Republican strategist

What an idiot. Any Republican who looks to this kook for strategy deserves to lose his/her seat.

Every time I read something like this I am more convinced than ever that the people at Politico are on drugs.

Spoken like a true elitist douchebag!

First off, I don’t believe 38% approve of the Tea Party movement. I believe it is much higher than that—but who can prove it. Second, we are making our voice heard. And one of the reasons we like Sarah so much, is because she speaks as one of us and NOT one of the “elites”. I dispise the elites.

In fact, I have a racial bias against the elites. Oh, yeah, they are not a race. But I do have a prejudice against the “learned ones.”

"Race" is a code word for "identity group", not a race in any sense you might find in your dictionary.

Think of it this way: Individuals, thinking for themselves, require facts and explanations. Herds need only a slogan or two.

Now, if you want everybody to do something that you don't dare explain to them, which way are you going to approach them?

Quod erat demonstrandum

Given the amount of time since the 9-11 attack, it’s distressing to think people are still so uninformed about Islam not to understand how triumphalist this mosque is. Even it’s very name is a middle finger in our faces. I also wonder how many NYC pockets get lined with Saudi money.

How surprising. Center for American Progress on top of the elite heap.

Americans had better learn this:

Well, at Mr. Obama’s USDA and Justice Department, white is the wrong race, so why the surprise?

Not just that. Like al Aqsa, it is a mark of conquest and a property sign: This is ours. We took it. Muslim land forever.

Great point.

Tom Korologos is mentioned in a book Mitt Romney wrote with Mike Korologos,
and might even have been the Thompson "helper" that ruined the Thompson campaign for Romney.
